bzr can optionally use compiled versions of some parts of the code
 
17
for increased speed. When installing bzr you need the ability to
 
18
build C extensions. Some Linux distributions package the necessary
 
19
headers separately from the main Python package. This package is
 
20
probably named something like python-dev or python-devel. FreeBSD,
 
21
Windows, source-based Linux distributions, and possibly other operating
 
22
systems, have the required files installed by default.

24
If you are installing bzr from a bzr branch rather than a release tarball,
 
25
then you should also have the Pyrex package installed. This is not necessary
 
26
for release tarballs as they already contain the C files that Pyrex is needed
 
27
to create.
